Viruses: Molecular Hijackers 

Or did they and you just slept through it? Very few people ever apply what they learned about microbes. I see people touching public items and scratching their face and eating, etc. Not to mention the unnatural close contact some people have with their animals.

In Europe this is covered in the 6th grade

@@ucanliv4ever In the U.S. as well (at least it was for me), and you get a bit more detail in high school. But its basically single-celled organisms, their structure, and how they function. Viruses are a different animal so to speak. I don't recall them ever going over them.

Feed a cold starve a Virus. BAK

I am studying this topic rn. I'm in grade 11(India)

Then why so many thumbs down? Its just information.

As one with almost zero scientific background of any significance, I would also rate this as 'excellent'. As, to explain complex matters to a layman is no small feat. I understand much more about where we are in 2020 having seen this scientist's video, and read the comments (with skepticism - granted naive, but I do what I can!)

I say the same as someone who has been in the sciences for a few minutes.

professor Dave, your video save Asia high school student from Hong Kong as well!

Why are you saying that our professor saves many student life?? Is there no school in your country

I'm a high school student as well. I know lots of stuff today, but back in my childhood, i knew almost nothing. Over time, i learned new things. But now, i know almost everything. From pipe organs to atoms.

@@prabhleenreen3594 what mean by "lmaooo" can you explain please in English

Yes, all very well done, such a generous service to the general public.

That's so cool

This is some fascinating stuff, eh? A lot of people don't really know the difference between viruses and bacteria! Things like Covid, HIV, and even the Common Cold are caused by viruses! In the DVD case of bacteria, what the bad ones do is to essentially poison the host with nasty chemicals! Botulism is one example! Of course, good bacteria are essential for life! Such as the bacteria in our digestive tract! Some animals are not born with the needed bacteria, so they get it in the form of colostrum! Naked Mole Rats actually have to eat the fecal matter of the mother in order to get the bacteria they need to live!

thanks kindly! please spread the word!

jimbo3356 Southern Dixieland school district?

ye, school's not about learning the material. It's about figuring the quickest easiest way to get the highest scores on all subjects and tests to pass. I wish I knew that when I was in school. I always made it much harder on myself than I really had to make it. And my grades were really bad as a result.

your school is suck

Theres certainly a lot to unpack with these critiques on the education system. Some focus on paths to college and minimise the importance and satisfaction that are in trades, while others simply are trying to change the world through students to fit their own narcissim. But many times you find schools being essentially care facilities just trying to get through to the next day.

Very true

I agree. Knowledge is supreme.

Never too late to study biology and virology, friend!

thanks, friend!

Wow!

Monster enthusiast fox thing is literally everywhere

good question! i think it's an area of active research. but it's certainly due to some kind of conformational changes on the part of some proteins once binding occurs.

Professor I searched on the internet and found this article, 'Myovirus bacteriophages use a hypodermic syringe-like motion to inject their genetic material into the cell. After making contact with the appropriate receptor, the tail fibers flex to bring the base plate closer to the surface of the cell; this is known as reversible binding. Once attached completely, irreversible binding is initiated and the tail contracts, possibly with the help of ATP present in the tail,[4] injecting genetic material through the bacterial membrane. The injection is done through a sort of bending motion in the shaft by going to the side, contracting closer to the cell and pushing back up.' So, they contain ATP from their earlier host.

@@ushasureshkumawat8535 i saw a video on it recently. I've bee really interested in viruses for some reason recently lol I look up like dozens of articles and watch dozens of videos.

@@Jordan_Dossou could you provide the link to that?

They ARE alive. It's just currently accepted definition of living is incorrect.

Nature doesn’t create anything because evolution doesn’t exist. Viruses are man made and are advanced. Life doesn’t appear on its own

I dont think they know everything

This is my theory with respect to viruses. Just as in computer science a computer system and the language it uses is created by an engineer. So they create an Operating system based of complex code and release it to the public to be used for various purposes such as: accounting, data entry, editing programs etc. Then a jealous engineer of the same knowledge level analyses the creators code and decides to engineer another piece of code that will disrupt the functionality of that OS created by the first engineer. This is when a computer becomes infected with a virus and it starts acting crazy. Biological viruses like computer viruses are engineered by someone with the knowledge of DNA coding. This explains how viruses can affect specific parts of a living organism and are designed to disrupt a specific functionality within that organism. This is why you have viruses that attack the liver only (hepatitis), the respiratory system only(influenza and the like), the reproductive system only (gonorrhea) etc. HIV is a master piece of viral engineering affecting a human's Immune system, the system which function is to fight off deseases that infect the human body. This means that from that point forward once infected with HIV the human body will no longer be able to fight deseases on its own and will always need aids from medicines and any deseases threatens the life of the sick person with HIV. Now let's think about who do viruses benefit? I'm a computer engineer but I like Biology.

and then wild phagocyte appears and sinks them all

Bacteriophage: TARGET SIGHTED!

*army of phagocytes and bacteriophages arrive*

It looks horrifying, like a microscopic robot that is out to hunt down and kill every living being it encounters. But there are good news. Bacteriophages only attack specific bacterias and not living cells. Bacteriophages do not attack human beings as we are too much of a target for them. In fact, right now scientists are researching ways to use bacteriophages to fight bacterial diseases in the body. They are kind of the good guy in this fight.

They look very alien!

Creepy...

lol

Me too. But where did that get us?

Me too xD

Yeah

@@fungames24 A report of 2019-nCov genome sequence report shows 4 HIV-like structures in the S protein segment on the viral membrane. This is the site for binding with the host cell RNA to disguise the virus to cross the host cell membrane through "endocytosis". These HIV-like structures have not been observed in other known coronaviruses but are found in HIV virus. This may happen through random mutation in nature. The propability of this freak mutation with not one but four HIV-like protein structures is extremely low and would take a very very long time unless the HIV-like protein structures were the result of manipulation in a high grade biotech lab for example. Even more intriguing is the claims in the US, Thailand and China that few 20019-nCov infected patients responded very well when anti-HIV drugs (e.g. Interferon) are used in combination with supportive treatments . From this very useful video, we can deduce that blocking the HIV-like protein structures on the Wuhan virus prevents the virus's ability to hijack human cells to replicate itself!!!!!

@@datoming Thank you so much. You summarized everything very well. I just understood things now from your comment.

H1N1 lol too many people arent smart enough to understand this.

ReeflexTV it’s a flu type/strand

@N K Idk what you mean "saddest", and you don't need 70IQ just to remember a piece of information... That's not a sad thing. It's just you won't ever need to know what H1N1 in most jobs, so there's no point of learning it

H1N1 fuck 🖕🏾u.....

Hey friend, sad to know you're gone

It isn't. It's a RU-vid video.

lolllll, excellent description

not necessarily, bacteriophages can used alongside antibiotics to save lives

@@stephentrueman4843 hmmmmmmm, you got a point tharrrr

@@stephentrueman4843 Good news for humans and animals, still bad news for bacteria.

Well, it has not been depicted like that by chance

It actually can in some instances. Like Old People. I think it can also sometimes harm good bacteria within your gut or skin.

They aren’t “glitches” but they definitely prove that the MATRIX is real 🐒

Kirby LOL

There is a video made by Veritasium that shows the copying of DNA on the molecular level. It's amazing how something so complex can be done by little machines that have no capacity to think, just react.

Alien spaceship?
